How Do I Set the Default Workbook to Open at 150% Every Time?

[EXPC75]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel When I start Excel, I'd like the blank workbook to open at 150% every time. How do I do that?

I looked through the forum and didn't come up with that answer.

Thank you so much.

You can't do that in 2008 without writing an AppleScript.

Even if you do write an AppleScript, you have to run it each time you launch
Excel, which is not very convenient: quicker to hit the Zoom button.

Sorry: Next version!

Easy - create a default template with zoom at 150%.
